Buffalo's JJ Peterka has the second-most goals on the Sabres since last season with 35 in 99 regular season games
The Buffalo Sabres should find a favourable matchup for their offence Friday when they battle against the Anaheim Ducks on the road. Despite losing Tage Thompson, the Sabres have some scoring threats and should present a solid pick for the Pad Stack Challenge.

Bet: JJ Peterka anytime goal (+175)
First of all, the Ducks are looking to start Lukas Dostal in net on Friday, who has seen some stellar starts this season but has allowed four or more goals in three of his last five starts.
Anaheim has struggled to keep pucks out of their net no matter who their goaltender is with a 3.56 goals against average in nine home games this season.
This presents a solid opportunity for the Sabres leading scorer after Thompson to make a difference. Peterka is still a young 22 years old and is yet to have his breakout season.
He has solidified himself as a decent scoring option with the second-most goals on Buffalo since the start of last season with 35 in 99 games.
He has just one goal of his last six games and is long overdue for a goal in this spot. The Ducks and Sabres have totalled 32 goals combined over their last four matchups with each game going over six goals.
If we place our starting $10 on Peterka to find the back of the net, we double our profits and more with a bank total of $27.50 heading into the weekend.
